Layout and cover design for collection of poems unpublished

0 Discussions3 Files0 Proposals


I am looking for a talented designer to help me with layout/cover design. I am looking to self-publish a collection of poems using CreateSpace.

Overview of book:
A collection of short essays, poetry, and prose inspired by my life over the last six years. Each pieces touches on various themes including love, desire, intimacy, femininity, strength, and home.

Font: I’ve included an example of my own personal handwriting below. I’ve used the handwritten version of “letters to no one” on my blog for years. The weight of the pen I used is a bit thicker than what I’d like to see for the cover of the book, but I want the font to feel like my own handwriting.

Colours: I am open to exploring light neutral colours (grey, nudes) but I also appreciate darker colours like #893f4c, #ad5f6d, #695d7c, #2B5C5B, #446962, #0D637E.

Patterns: I am also open to exploring subtle patterns. Some examples are included with the brief.

Placement: I like non-traditional placement, and have examples if required.

Mood: romantic, alluring, subtle, soft, contemporary.
